Twitter
As you may have noticed, I've added a Twitter badge to the sidebar of my blog.
Brett says Twitter is disgusting, and promotes unrealistic feelings of self-importance. I updated it from the car this afternoon, and he almost keeled over from my lameness.
I say, I am American. I've made a habit out of feeling unrealistically self-important, and Twitter makes it that much easier to feed my habit. Plus texting it is fun - it's like a friend who only listens, and never talks back. Plus it's quicker and easier than blogging all the gd time.
So there you have it - I'm on Twitter. Feel free to add me, if you're on Twitter too.
Glitter
I loves me some UD (Urban Decay) eyeshadow, but I'm tired of how glittery their palettes are. I have both the Skull and Wallpaper Shadow Boxes (Urban Ammo has too many duplicates, so I don't want it) and I prefer to work from them rather than from individual pans, because if I'm putting on a lot of eyeshadow I'm probably going somewhere, and if I'm going somewhere I'm probably late, and if I'm late I'm probably putting on my eyeshadow in the car.
Anyway. My point is that I LOVE the colors, and I love that there's like, nine different shadows in one tiny compact thingy, but I think I've outgrown wearing that much glitter. At least to daytime and/or family events. So my question is this - do YOU have a favorite eye shadow palette? I'm looking for a new one, preferably with a good variety of shades (I'm not afraid of color), and preferably highly pigmented, and with brushes and/or smudgy thingies included, because sometimes I don't have a real brush with me.
I'm okay with drugstore makeup suggestions, but in my experience they don't have the best pigments. I'm okay with insanely high-priced suggestions as well, but I've yet to find a Chanel or Dior palette that I've liked enough to buy. Nars and Mac kind of interest me, but I haven't shopped either of those lines in years - do they have eyeshadow-only palettes?
Emo Hair
So I learned something new today: apparently if you dye your naturally blonde hair black, you then suffer the same hair-dying complications as someone with naturally black hair.
I went to the salon today expecting to turn my sleek, shiny black hair into sleek, shiny blonde hair, and was told that I'd either have to bleach my whole head to strip off the black and THEN dye it blonde (which they didn't recommend due to the amount of damage it would do), OR I could have them bring it up a tiny notch to a dark neutral brown, and then bleach in highlights. So that's what I did. And now...
I have emo hair. Well, Brett's mom says it looks nice and I'll get used to it, but you know that orange color that emo kids and punky Japanese teens sometimes have streaked through their hair? Yeah. That's my hair now: black with orange/caramel highlights.
It's okay, but when I go back next month to have them add more highlights in (to gradually make it blonder and blonder), I'm definitely going to ask for more toner. In the meantime I'll take comfort in the knowledge that the skateboarders in our local grocery store parking lot may start asking me to buy them cigs. (don't worry, I'll say no.)
Mr. T
My brother Chris is having a birthday/costume party/BBQ/ping-pong tournament tomorrow, and the theme of the evening is "I pity the fool!"
WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?!?
When I asked you guys for your help picking a wrap to wear to next week's charity auction/dinner thing, your suggestions helped me tremendously. (btw, I went with Pistachio and I LOVE it. LOVE. And the shoes, and dress...it all looks great together!) So what should we wear tomorrow (technically today)?
Is it 80's? Is it gold chains? Is it jumpsuits and headbands? WTF? I'll probably call Chris (or his wife Sarah) for more info tomorrow, but our shopping will literally be last minute. And probably thrifted, for that ultra-retro ultra-tacky flair.
